Subject: Tailwind-List: Engine Mount

I've now got the fuselage all welded up, and starting on the engine mount and 
empenage.  I bought the dynafocal portion of the mount from AS&S.  I have the 
C. Leblanc plans for the Lyc O-320 engine mount, as well as all Jim C. 
pictures, all the Tailwind Times, and every other picture I could find on the 
Internet, including the 'Construction Photo Guide, and I can't find anything that

shows clear detail how to do the bottom lugs of the engine mount. 
    There is a vertical 7/8 X .049 which intersects the top lug .31" aft of 
the firewall, but I just can't see how these tubes attach to the bottom lugs. 

It's hard to tell how the bottom horizontal 7/8 tubes attach to the lugs, as 
well.  Anyone have any pictures of this ?
    I disassembled the engine today, but I can't get the case halves apart.  
I am sure I've got all the bolts out, including the castle nut behind the cam 
gear.  Anyone have tricks to get it apart without damage ?
